Can the Sony Vita resist the 3DS storm?

Plus, for the Vita, the price won't be as big an issue as it was with the 3DS, as the Vita has more value for the dollar.  Better quality screen, better graphics, and more features.  It's also launching at the exact same price as the PSP did against a $150 DS, and that has gone on to sell 71+ million units (and will probably end 80+ million).  I have no doubt that if Nintendo had left the price the same, even with a couple of Mario games, the Vita would have hands down won this handheld gen.  I think the sudden pricecut a mere 5-6 months from launch proves that Nintendo knew this, as well.

I like how people actually think this matters. Price and games. You got a good price and system sellers and your fine. 

If we went by your logic....Xbox would have beat PS2.....PS3 wouldnt still be last place, and Wii would have been discontinued years ago. 

I repeat....mass market price point and system sellers. 

Quite a few people will think that matters, especially if advertised correctly to those who aren't 100% aware of those facts.  And you completely ignored where I stated the PSP was still able to sell 71+ million units (and is still selling) despite having launched against the $150 DS.  This time the gap isn't as much ($80, instead of a full $100)and the Vita can pull off WAY more than the PSP ever could.  Also, Sony looks to be delivering quite a few quality games at launch and beyond.  The competition is going to be more a little more intense this time around.

And if Sony can still pull it together to have at least a Dec 18th-24th launch in the US this year, then they are going to make out even better.
